How much does everyone pay for an oil change. I just went in for my first oil change and the dealer charged me $51.33. This seems a little too high for a regular oil change, when I had my BMW I paid around the same but that was for 7000 mile intervals. I just wanted to know if I got cheated "again" by the dealer.

I just got my first oil changed @ the Cadillac dealer today also. I paid between $45-$50, but that is because I requested Valvoline (only brand I use) and they had to go out and get it. They normally don't carry it. Otherwise it would have cost $35-$45.
I changed mine @3500 miles even though my oil life indicator showed oil life @ 52%. I expect I could have gotten another 2500 miles or so before the indicator showed me needing a change. Going about 6000 miles without changing the oil just didn't seem right to me. Just Wondering--------What mileage did you change yours @ and did your oil life indicator tell you to?
I used to change the oil on all my vehicles, but I'm lazy now and don't want to get my hands dirty if I don't have to. Anyways, if the dealer does it, they are liable for any problems if they arise. I don't know what those problems could be, but I know I am not responsible.
P.s. you have to include labor time to that $15. Your time is also worth $$$.

even with the STS North Star engin they do not charge extra for more oil
I changed mine @ 3000 miles and the indicator read 48%. Also they charged me extra for the Penzoil products they used, which is not something I asked for. Is this something extra or do all dealers use Penzoils? I would feel very cheated if that is something they charge extra at the customers request, b/c I did not request it.

The dealer I went to told me: If no particular oil type is requested, they use UNION, which is a brand I've never heard of. He also told me that they have Penzoil in stock if I wanted to use that. He gave no indication that he would charge me extra for Penzoil if I chose that instead of Union. I expect Penzoil would have cost me $35-$40.
ya, any schucks/checkers/autozone type place will take your used oil for free. i can also rotate my own tires, another thing that isn't hard at all. i end up with 35 bucks more in my pocket and just a lil dirtier.
The Truck Came From The Factory With Mobil 1 In It. Gm Strongly Suggests That You Only Use Synthetic Oil. If You Can Get A Synthetic Oil Change For Less Than $50, Than Me.
I bought the GM Smart Care plan when I bought my ESV.
I was able to negotiate the price and I have 3 years of oil/filter changes every 3 mos or 3000 miles for about $21.00 each. (Dealer charges $53.00 including tax)
I changed an owners 2000 DeVille oil to Amsoil for $75 including oil, filter, labor and an engine oil flush. He brought his wife's back a month later after he found he could switch from 91 octane to 87 without knocking.
